I don't care how drunk he was, his impulse is to get off on images of unfathomable depravity committed against tiny children. They should have thrown away the key

I am actually really upset with Suzanne Moore about this, I was really proud of her when she spoke up about the whole gender critical issue at the guardian last year. As others have said I really dislike birchill but am glad she is speaking up against Eric, but the fact that she has such awful views on so much almost invalidates what she says about anything

That Suzanne Moore comment to India's woe is me tweet wasn't even the most bizarre- Marian Keyes had replied with something like "you are the goodest of eggs India". The goodest of eggs? I mean, even if you take the sticking by a p a e d o out of the equation, India is objectively not a good egg- look how horrible and judgemental she is to women, look at the many sneering books she has written about what she considers the wrong kind of behaviours from women.

Blue ticks is just one massive circle jerk of fakery

Interesting interview with IK's half sister Afsaneh here:

Two notable points:
1. The rank nepotism in this family: "Still, she agreed to be interviewed at St Catherine’s College, Oxford to please her father, and in spite of having only two A-levels got in."
2. “When India and I first had the conversation [about India having had botox], she actually said, ‘You have no right to an opinion, it’s worthless, meaningless, so shut up. Of course it’s not relevant to you’.” How lovely of her.

He was pro unisex loos. Women tend to prefer single sex loos - you can leave the door slightly open if you have a pushchair that doesn’t fit in the cubicle, you might have blood on your hands etc. Obviously some women are not bothered by unisex loos but the majority seem to prefer single sex.

There have been a few instances where male councilors have been pro unisex loos and then been caught with photos of child sexual exploitation or abusing children, hence the concern.

To be fair, Marina Hyde is sharp as a tack.

Completely agree. I love Marina Hyde. But it’s sad that there are many other sharp and clever women who will never get a chance to achieve what she has because of lack of contacts, inroads into elite education, the right circles etc.

I’m still utterly shocked by the whole thing, the offences, the mitigation of drinking and relationship, the sentencing, the absolute lack of appropriate press coverage, and the continued access on one hand to a column that never mentions the situation and on the other to the fact that, I’m repeating my own words, a convicted paedophile sex offender is still PUBLICLY using social media. God knows what’s going on in private use.

When you think of the absolute witch hunts there have been of people in this country over less, it’s just absolutely nauseating. I am so cross.

I think Burchill's piece summed India's character up well: "For those of you who have not had the pleasure, Knight is very much of the ‘Lady Muck’ school of female columnists. The Cambridge Dictionary defines the type as ‘A woman who thinks she is very important and should be treated better than everyone else’."

TELL ME she didn’t take her filthy, disgusting hair to Hershesons and make a poor, underpaid junior wash it for her?

And she’s known about it for at least two years.

And she was calling us names and threatening to send him round our house. She's as ghastly as most of us thought

Anyone else read her column in The Times today? The hypocrisy of a woman writing about young women’s right to walk the streets unmolested while living with a paedophile defies belief.

She has no shame at all. Does she think if she blusters on long enough in denial people will forget?
I presume her daughter still can't live with her because she has chosen to live with a p*edophile?
She is a terrible person.

Her articles are always so smug, around a vanishingly small set of subjects. Next week, what lipstick to wear while your partner searches for child rape films. Don't move to the country unless you can afford enough room for your fiance to have a room with a lock on the door for when he's drinking and wanking to babies being abused, you'll need good WiFi.
Fuck. Off.

I think that was a brilliant piece from JB

To those who say she didn't focus enough on EJ and his crime, I think she did. Her last sentence sums it up:

"It is a national disgrace that men such as Joyce, who drive the market for the rape of infants, are spared jail by the courts of this country. But it is a national scandal that our newspapers – usually so keen to police the morals of our public figures – close ranks to protect one of their own. What a shameful episode in the history of British journalism – the silence of the hacks, shielding the evils which take place behind the Wokescreen"
